It has been almost ten years since Juergen Teller last shot an editorial for a german magazine. ZEITmagazin comes with the german weekly newspaper DIE ZEIT and they always have a high standard in regards of photography. Juergen Teller is a long-time contributor. He used to have a weekly column where he would show one photo of his archive and write a little bit about that moment shown on the photo. Since he stopped doing that I am glad that he shot the special fashion issue, which ZEITmagazin releases biannually. Current it-model Andrej Pejic, who walked Jean Paul Gaultier's haute couture finale this season, is the face of the editorial – yes, it is a guy. You can see all photos here.

Great photos. I've always loved Juergen's style of photography (flash is your friend!). I do feel that they've played up the androgyny a bit too much. Androgyny is one of my favourite things in fashion, and I think understated androgyny is always better.
